Natures Nectar From the Sky’s

 

I like taking photos of the rain drops during and after the rains .

Spring 2013 (7 of 14)

The light shines through the rain drops ever so perfectly  giving them that silvery glow .

Nature’s Spring Surprises

 

The blooms have been popping every where from gardens , fields,  road sides to river banks  .

This tiny little bee on the leaf at the left looks to be in his glory and doesn’t know what to do with all those flowers or which one to pick first . Decisions, decisions !

Wonderful Horses

 

Ken and I belong to a saddle club as their photographers . This past Sunday was the first day of this seasons events . The weather was cool but sunny and perfect for riding .

Spring 2013 (1 of 1)

I just love the barrel event . To capture the riders expression's and the horses power is amazing !

Spring 2013 (1 of 1)-2

  Ken takes one end of the area and I the other so we can capture the horse and rider from different angles !

                                               The day is filled with fun and spunk for all !

Spring 2013 (1 of 1)-5

               There are many events that these riders just love to do with their horses and ponies !

Spring 2013 (1 of 1)-4

                            This little girl was putting her pony through her paces and did very well !

          By the end of the day Ken and I took about 1800 to 2000 photos of each rider in each event !

        Nothing better for us then being around horses again and taking  photos of them in action !
